Toonami talks Uzumaki with Junji Ito and anime staff

When it comes to this creepy season, the title that’s been on every horror otaku’s lips is Uzumaki. The manga by Junji Ito is being adapted as a four-episode anime series for Toonami, and the channel had a short behind the scenes featurette to share.

Director Hiroshi Nagahama, writer Aki Itami, manga editor Sayuri Kinjo and Ito himself have a brief discussion about the show arriving in 2020. In particular, they zoom in on the original manga and the process behind its anime transformation.
